Bronze Figure “Mercury on the Wind” on Marble Column - olive-brown patina - H. 68,5 cm

Mercury, messenger of the gods, in a large edition, borne aloft by the breath of a wind god.

As patron of merchants he is the classic figure for business premises and reception desks. At almost 70 cm he also holds his own in a stairwell or an entrance hall. A traditional gift for a business opening.

Craftsmanship

Solid lost-wax bronze, with chasing and patina done by hand. Only one toe touches the bearded wind head; his forefinger points skywards and his other hand holds the caduceus. The olive-brown patina brings out the musculature, and the dark grey marble column has a bronze ring and cap.

Care

A dry microfibre cloth is enough for regular care. Because the patina is applied by hand, each example turns out slightly different.
